Halfway House Renovated for Office Space


I always thought it was a strange place to build a halfway house. The building pictured above was designed to look like a residential home, but was built in an office park on La Rue France - directly across the Vermilion River from the Hilton. Now the building has been bought by a group of local professionals, and its new use will fit in with the neighbors.

Lafayette architect Andrew Perrin tells me he designed the changes that are under construction right now to turn the building into office space for his firm, Perrin & Associates, and his father's law firm - Perrin, Landry, deLaunay, Dartez and Ouellet. The law firm is moving from just a few doors down.

Andrew Perrin says a change in government funding for halfway houses sank the business model of the building's previous owners. The firms should move in some time this summer.
